Power Archiver 20018 and Outlook 2016

Today I installed Office 2016 and now I have here a Little Problem.
Bevor Office 2016 I used Office 2007.
And there I was in Outlook 2007 able to configurate the Plugin in the Options menu.
In the menu Options i had a Register for Powerarchiver

But in Outlook 2016 I can’t find the configuration window for the Powerarchiver Plugin.
So where can I find it so that I configurate it?

Office 2016 is a Little bit different from the handling than Office 2007

I mean the config windows which you can see here on the screenshots.
https://www.powerarchiver.com/de/powerarchiver-for-outlook-plugin-paop/

In Outlook 2007 I had this configuration Regsiter to config the powerarchiver plugin.
But I can’t find such an config register/window under Outlook 2016.

At first I used Office 2007 Enterprise 32-Bit and the powerarchiver plugin 2.40.03.
Now I use Office 2016 Professional Plus with the powerarchiver plugin 3.04.

I reinstalled both powerarchiver plugins more than one time. Both togehter and both seperatly. It have no effect in outlook 2016.
The plugin will not apear in the oulook 2016 add-ins so i can not configurate and use this plugin.

In your Registry, you should have a keyHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PAOPLibrary.OlAddIn
at least, this is the name on my test machine.
Check if HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins has a subkey PAOPLibrary.OlAddIn
If I add this key, on my system, AutoRuns recognizes PAOP as Office plugin. Maybe this suffices for Outlook, too?

Could you maybee extract the registry entry from the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins
for the power archiver plugin?
Maybee I can bring the plugin to work with this when I integragte this entries.

It seams that the setup can not create this entries in the windows registry. But I have no idea why there is this problem.

Hello,

can you let us know what version of office it is exactly and what Windows, and we will test with it… But keep in mind that PAOP, both 2.x and 3.x have been in use with Office 2016 for a very long time, and we have been using it on our own 10+ computers also for very long time. It is a very strange issue, but maybe some update changes something.

Right now we all moved to latest 2019, but we have virtual machines with older windows and office of course.

Hi spywolf.

I use Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit edition.
At first I used Office 2007 Enterprise and the Outlok Plugin 2.40.02. The Outlook Plugin works fine with Outlook 2007.

Now I use Office 2016 Professional Plus 64-Bit and I wanted to use the Outlook Plugin 3.04 which I have installed.
But this Plugin and the Version 2.40.02 will not show up in Outlook 2016.

I have deinstalled and reinstalled the plugins more than once. Only the old, only the new and both together and nothing works.
At the moment I have installed only the Version 3.04.

I can not use Office 2019 because this version will not run under Windows 7.

thank you, it should work under Windows 7 as well.

I will create that test case and let you know what I find out. Thank you!

I installed the new Version but it will not show up in the Outlook Add-Ins.

I deinstalled the version 3.00.04 and installed the Version 3.00.08

Here is a screenshot from the Add-Ins Section from Outlook 2016 options and the installed plugin 3.00.08:
https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-33e9c2-1547452707.jpg.html

In the Add-In options I have one deaktivated Add-In which you can not see on the screenshot.
The Add-in is called “Windows Search Email Indexer”. This one is deaktivated.

The Outlook Plugin seems to be installed because the Files are in the folder
C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\PLUGINS\Office

Here is a screen from the installed Plugin Files:
https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-ecffe7-1547452942.jpg.html

From the post from BigMike it seems that only the registry entries are missing in my windows.
Would it be possible that you can send me the neccessary registry entries for the plugin as an export file .reg so that I can import than. Maybee it would work on this way.

I have no idea why the setup will not create the registry entries when this is the error reason.

The New Version works for me not complete correct.
I can see the Plugin now in Oulook, but when I wanted to configurate it I have the same problme which i had with Version 3.00.04 and Outlook 2007, which I already described in this topic.

When i used the Button "Add-In Options I get a fullscreen from the Power Archiver Plugin and I can make changes, but I can not close the Windows or so because the button for closing the window didn’t work. And the Checkboxes seems to be at the wrong places. Becaus when I wanted to check a box I need to click nearly 1 cm right of the checkbox to aktivate it.

And as I sayed, I can not close the screen anymore, so I need to close Outlok over the Task manager because I have no other chioce. Sometime I can use ALT + Space to bring up the Windows control to close the window.

Here is a Screenshot from my problem:
https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-5b3954-1547713173.jpg.html

I can change the checkboxes when I click 1 cm right from the checkbox. And the pull-down menu are not usable for me because when I click on the small triangle the selctable options didn’t show up.

So this plugin Version I can not use completely because the pull-down didn’t work and when I make changes at the checkboxes they will work, wenn I can use alt + space so that I can bring up the close options from the window.

The configuration Window show Plugin Version 3.00.02 but I have installed Version 3.00.09

[Edit:] I have here found here a seconod error.
When I try to open the Add-In Option from an Add-In which didn’t have configurable options, then I normaly get an message about this case.
When I have installed the Power Archiver Plugin and I wanted to open the Add-In Option like above, than I didn’t get the message about not configurable options instead the window for the Power Archiver Plugin konfiguration opens although I didn’t want to open this because I had selected an other Add-In.

Sometimes I seems to be blind.
After I installed the plugin I have a new entry in the menu bar for powerarchiver.
When I go there I have a new button for the configuration.
When I use this button I have the normal configuration window which works normaly.
But when I go over the Outlook options and then go to the Add-Ins I have the problem I described in my last post with the not working window from the plugin configuration.

thanks for letting us know… finally I was able to reproduce your issue as well. Thanks again!

When you are in the add-ins menu from the option and you want to open the configuration from an other addin like for example “Microsoft-Exchange-Add-In” do you get then the windows which tells you that this add-in have no configuration settings or do you get the window from powerarchiver although you have selected for example the “Microsoft-Exchange-Add-In” Add-in?

In the future update, we will remove separate add-in menu in options, so you will be able to configure it via toolbar only, as Microsoft wants. That way there is no confusion.
